let's go to the pentagon to our correspondent there, barbara starr. barbara, what more do you know about what happened, was this a case of intimidation? >> well, hello, brooke. it is a case of confrontation, perhaps, in the eyes of the united states. this incident earlier this week passed with no shooting on either side. iranian aircraft followed the u.s. drone around for a while and then everybody parted company, but what it underscores, the u.s. says, is that the u.s. military will defend its aircraft in international airspace, that according to a senior pentagon official. this is not the first time that they have confronted this. the iranians have launched their aircraft before, in fact, late last year, actually, fired at a u.s. drone over the persian gulf. and the concern is this could spiral out of control, that the iranians could feel they could go after these unmanned drones. the u.s. sending the very clear message it will defend them. nobody wants to see it escalate into hostilities, obviously. a couple of incidents over the last many months.
